The reason teachers use 'smile' and 'pointed chin' is that they were taught that way, and it probably works for them. But what those muscle shapes do is thin the lower lip so as not to absorb the high overtones. Make a fat lower lip and the sound gets duller without projection, or the clarinet sound beauty. With the thin lower lip and the 'straw' muscle shape as suggested above, (the shape of whistling, which is another way to describe the muscle shape), and you will have the most proper and efficient embouchure.
